Mandeville, St. Tammany Parish Family Mediator

Relationships between parents impact children in a myriad of ways, especially during divorce. With the goal of fostering good relationships with both parents, attorney Sirera looks toward the future and works with both sides to facilitate mutually agreeable solutions. She is mindful of tactics to minimize costs and of the fear and uncertainty that divorcing families go through when determining child custody, visitation and support agreements.

Allocating community or marital property, assets and debt can also be cause for contention and strife. There are strategies to avoid liquidating funds such as transferring them to another spouse so they do not lose any value or incur any fines, fees or taxes. Ideally, couples will get along during this process to better protect the interests of both parties. However, if necessary, there are techniques to employ to determine if a spouse is hiding assets.

Prenuptial and antenuptial agreements offer couples the ability to protect property and assets obtained prior to marriage. They also clarify financial rights and responsibilities during marriage and can protect one party from assuming the debts of the other. Prenuptial agreements are not just for the wealthy as there are other benefits to consider beyond premarital assets and property.
